Joseph's amazing talent of foretelling the future, as revealed to him in dreams, lands him a job with the pharaoh of Egypt, whom he protects from disaster. Soon, however, he is cast back into the presence of his jealous brothers, who threw him out in the first place. Three years in the making (and a follow-up to THE PRINCE OF EGYPT), this animated musical features songs performed by Jodi Benson (of Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID) and Maureen McGovern. [More]

Reviews for Joseph: King of Dreams
A new technical benchmark for straight-to-tape animated features, putting Disney's chintzy home video efforts to shame.
... fails to bring Joseph and his brothers to life the way Moses and Rameses came to life in The Prince of Egypt. Sappy, run-of-the-mill songs drown out any subtleties.
Once one stops making unfair comparisons to a theatrical film made on a much bigger budget, Joseph: King of Dreams is worthwhile on its own more modest terms.
